PRoSCENIUM BOXES FROM THE STAGE.
ton of reporter, who IS willing to
stake his life that it is the handSomeSt
theater in the city and one of the hand
soonest he was everin, and he has tray
eled beyond the borders of Anoka.
The Hennepin Avenue theater is sit
uated near the junction of Seventh street
ana the avenue, on the same side of the
street as the West, and is a dignified
building with red pressed brick front
and five stories high. The main en-
and is of course on the level with the
street. Entrance is first made through
set of doors into a vestibule and from
thence into the lobby of the theater.
Here are the box office and check room
windows, set in deliberately carved
frames of polished oak and Illuminated
with beveled plate glass. This entrance
is richly and warmly frescoed and deco
rated in relief work and, with the mosaic
tile floor underneath, certainly is with
out equal in the Northwest. From this
entrance the foyer is reached-a large
and roomy interior with parlor or recep-
ton rooms on the right and left.
In this foyer the frescoer has put some
of his choicest bits in paint and relief
work, and the effect, with the Oriental
suggestions seen in the grand StaircaseS
leading up into the balcOny,iS beautiful.
This foyer. with its receptiOn-rOom adj
JunctS, is intended for promenade pur-
poses, and is ample enough to accOmO-
date quite number. Entering the
theater proper, the full beauty of the
graceful sweep of the boxes and stages
burst upon the spectator, and here again
Is seen the lavish richness of the freS-
coer's art. Sweeping through the cen
ter of the auditorium, and dividing the
parquette from parquette circle, are
series of logeS or open boxes, capable of
seating five persons; these boxes are
finished with brass rail and plush val
ance, and will be seated with easy chairs
of the most novel description. Di-
rectly overhead is another series
of logeS. which form the front
of the balcony. The underside of this
upper tier is cut up in quaint designs of
carved wood and pacruSta work, colOred
in low tones of blue and gold, each box
terminating into an apex, after the style
of an inverted Chinese pagoda, and
capped with large Opaque electric
light burner. AS this upper tier of
cages sweeps from wall to wall the
effect of the lights is going to be gorge
Gus. Looking up from the parquette to
prOScenium opening and sounding
board, the full glory of the house can be
seen. Unlike the theaters, there is no
intervening distance from the pros
cenium opening to the ceiling in the
Hennepin avenue. Here the sounding
board is OF vast dimensions set at an
angle like the roof of the ordinary
house and reaching back distance of
forty feet. This sounding board is
broken into panels and elaborate carved
columns, all of which is of elaborate de-
sign and decorated in the same low hues

NymanOver goes, but before he leaves
he gives the world the benefit of few
choice thoughts and he gives them with
the air of man who knows what he is
talking about. He began con-
versatiOn with a GLOBE reporter by
remarking that the face of the world
was changing nowadays in way that
alarms the superficial observer. but in
spires him who sees deeply and clearly.

dustrial world of the nineteenth century,
bringing with it, it is true, sword in
one band, but an ensign Of peace and
good will in the other, thus making
human brotherhood in the end bril-
liant possibility. The social question is,
after all, question of Christian ethics,
and it's teachings are that the individual
man must place his business life ON a
higher moral level and subject his pro-
cess OF producing and distributing

all kinds'Of agencies, the ethical, how
ever, the most just and lasting of all.
have often hadpeople ask me: why
this unfairneSS in social cOnditiOns?"
And l have answered: Simply be-
cause the political economy of nation
has additionally been based on the as
sumption of unrestricted competitions
Up to very recent times we were all
taught that the greed of one man is an
adequate check of that of another, and
that universal greed works out the high

man said. Let SelfishneSS rule was the
practical injunction. This theory, how
ever, has now been abandoned by stu
dents of political economy, and l am
When asked what he thought of the
tendency of social progress to drive the
highest order of talents out of political
life to take refuge, as history proves, in
the pursuits Of property, Mr.. Nyman-
over said that such a question had at
least strong color of reason, and that
the violent disposition of labor nova
days must account for the past.
You remember, about myself, that |

tious and selfish, spoiled child in

my fellow comrades. 'Ah!' they say.

Now,el wish to answer all these insinu-
public. by calling your attention to the
fact that power as we'll as ambition is
the chief element of all the commanding
QUALITIES of our nature. Is it
not true that the man who
attaks or awes us by his intellec-
tual and moral grandeur, is only an ex-
ample and an anticipation of the inn,
provementS for which every mind was
endowed, and that to the contrary the
worst man hes. become such by the
perversion and excess of tie desires and
appetites which he shares with his
whole race as a common heritage? Is it
not equally true, both of the brightest
virtues and the blacklist vices, that the
seeds of them both are sown in every
human breast? This the Socialists seem
to deny, especially when of an anareh-
